When fallback to TCP happens early on a client socket, snd_nxt
is not yet initialized and any incoming ack will copy such value
into snd_una. If the mptcp worker (dumbly) tries mptcp-level
re-injection after such ack, that would unconditionally trigger a send
buffer cleanup using 'bad' snd_una values.
We could easily disable re-injection for fallback sockets, but such
dumb behavior already helped catching a few subtle issues and a very
low to zero impact in practice.
Instead address the issue always initializing snd_nxt (and write_seq,
for consistency) at connect time.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/slab: make __free(kfree) accept error pointers
Currently, if an automatically freed allocation is an error pointer that
will lead to a crash. An example of this is in wm831x_gpio_dbg_show().
171 char *label __free(kfree) = gpiochip_dup_line_label(chip, i);
172 if (IS_ERR(label)) {
173 dev_err(wm831x->dev, "Failed to duplicate label\n");
174 continue;
175 }
The auto clean up function should check for error pointers as well,
otherwise we're going to keep hitting issues like this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
maple_tree: fix mas_empty_area_rev() null pointer dereference
Currently the code calls mas_start() followed by mas_data_end() if the
maple state is MA_START, but mas_start() may return with the maple state
node == NULL. This will lead to a null pointer dereference when checking
information in the NULL node, which is done in mas_data_end().
Avoid setting the offset if there is no node by waiting until after the
maple state is checked for an empty or single entry state.
A user could trigger the events to cause a kernel oops by unmapping all
vmas to produce an empty maple tree, then mapping a vma that would cause
the scenario described above.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/slub: avoid zeroing outside-object freepointer for single free
Commit 284f17ac13fe ("mm/slub: handle bulk and single object freeing
separately") splits single and bulk object freeing in two functions
slab_free() and slab_free_bulk() which leads slab_free() to call
slab_free_hook() directly instead of slab_free_freelist_hook().
If `init_on_free` is set, slab_free_hook() zeroes the object.
Afterward, if `slub_debug=F` and `CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED` are
set, the do_slab_free() slowpath executes freelist consistency
checks and try to decode a zeroed freepointer which leads to a
"Freepointer corrupt" detection in check_object().
During bulk free, slab_free_freelist_hook() isn't affected as it always
sets it objects freepointer using set_freepointer() to maintain its
reconstructed freelist after `init_on_free`.
For single free, object's freepointer thus needs to be avoided when
stored outside the object if `init_on_free` is set. The freepointer left
as is, check_object() may later detect an invalid pointer value due to
objects overflow.
To reproduce, set `slub_debug=FU init_on_free=1 log_level=7` on the
command line of a kernel build with `CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED=y`.

typec_register_partner() does not guarantee partner registration
to always succeed. In the event of failure, port->partner is set
to the error value or NULL. Given that port->partner validity is
not checked, this results in the following crash:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix race between aio_cancel() and AIO request complete
FFS based applications can utilize the aio_cancel() callback to dequeue
pending USB requests submitted to the UDC. There is a scenario where the
FFS application issues an AIO cancel call, while the UDC is handling a
soft disconnect. For a DWC3 based implementation, the callstack looks
like the following:
DWC3 Gadget FFS Application
dwc3_gadget_soft_disconnect() ...
--> dwc3_stop_active_transfers()
--> dwc3_gadget_giveback(-ESHUTDOWN)
--> ffs_epfile_async_io_complete() ffs_aio_cancel()
--> usb_ep_free_request() --> usb_ep_dequeue()
There is currently no locking implemented between the AIO completion
handler and AIO cancel, so the issue occurs if the completion routine is
running in parallel to an AIO cancel call coming from the FFS application.
As the completion call frees the USB request (io_data->req) the FFS
application is also referencing it for the usb_ep_dequeue() call. This can
lead to accessing a stale/hanging pointer.
commit b566d38857fc ("usb: gadget: f_fs: use io_data->status consistently")
relocated the usb_ep_free_request() into ffs_epfile_async_io_complete().
However, in order to properly implement locking to mitigate this issue, the
spinlock can't be added to ffs_epfile_async_io_complete(), as
usb_ep_dequeue() (if successfully dequeuing a USB request) will call the
function driver's completion handler in the same context. Hence, leading
into a deadlock.
Fix this issue by moving the usb_ep_free_request() back to
ffs_user_copy_worker(), and ensuring that it explicitly sets io_data->req
to NULL after freeing it within the ffs->eps_lock. This resolves the race
condition above, as the ffs_aio_cancel() routine will not continue
attempting to dequeue a request that has already been freed, or the
ffs_user_copy_work() not freeing the USB request until the AIO cancel is
done referencing it.
This fix depends on
commit b566d38857fc ("usb: gadget: f_fs: use io_data->status
consistently")

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: uvc: use correct buffer size when parsing configfs lists
This commit fixes uvc gadget support on 32-bit platforms.
Commit 0df28607c5cb ("usb: gadget: uvc: Generalise helper functions for
reuse") introduced a helper function __uvcg_iter_item_entries() to aid
with parsing lists of items on configfs attributes stores. This function
is a generalization of another very similar function, which used a
stack-allocated temporary buffer of fixed size for each item in the list
and used the sizeof() operator to check for potential buffer overruns.
The new function was changed to allocate the now variably sized temp
buffer on heap, but wasn't properly updated to also check for max buffer
size using the computed size instead of sizeof() operator.
As a result, the maximum item size was 7 (plus null terminator) on
64-bit platforms, and 3 on 32-bit ones. While 7 is accidentally just
barely enough, 3 is definitely too small for some of UVC configfs
attributes. For example, dwFrameInteval, specified in 100ns units,
usually has 6-digit item values, e.g. 166666 for 60fps.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: zoned: do not flag ZEROOUT on non-dirty extent buffer
Btrfs clears the content of an extent buffer marked as
EXTENT_BUFFER_ZONED_ZEROOUT before the bio submission. This mechanism is
introduced to prevent a write hole of an extent buffer, which is once
allocated, marked dirty, but turns out unnecessary and cleaned up within
one transaction operation.
Currently, btrfs_clear_buffer_dirty() marks the extent buffer as
EXTENT_BUFFER_ZONED_ZEROOUT, and skips the entry function. If this call
happens while the buffer is under IO (with the WRITEBACK flag set,
without the DIRTY flag), we can add the ZEROOUT flag and clear the
buffer's content just before a bio submission. As a result:
1) it can lead to adding faulty delayed reference item which leads to a
FS corrupted (EUCLEAN) error, and
2) it writes out cleared tree node on disk
The former issue is previously discussed in [1]. The corruption happens
when it runs a delayed reference update. So, on-disk data is safe.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/3f4f2a0ff1a6c818050434288925bdcf3cd719e5.1709124777.git.naohiro.aota@wdc.com/
The latter one can reach on-disk data. But, as that node is already
processed by btrfs_clear_buffer_dirty(), that will be invalidated in the
next transaction commit anyway. So, the chance of hitting the corruption
is relatively small.
Anyway, we should skip flagging ZEROOUT on a non-DIRTY extent buffer, to
keep the content under IO intact.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: sdhci-msm: pervent access to suspended controller
Generic sdhci code registers LED device and uses host->runtime_suspended
flag to protect access to it. The sdhci-msm driver doesn't set this flag,
which causes a crash when LED is accessed while controller is runtime
suspended. Fix this by setting the flag correctly.
